6-word stories

by Chong Teck SIM – aspiring Singaporean writer

Recognisable smells, faces. Home sweet home.

Reflection: the mirror tells no lies.

Love lost, she never loves again.

Water balloons. Dancing music. Orientation party.

Doorbell rings. Who is it?

Her name still haunts my soul.

Dark, convoluted alleyways. Masked men. Nightmare.

Fighting spiders. Pick-up sticks. My childhood.

Photogenic contestants. Jumpy nerves. Supermodel audition.

Empty bowl. Hunger pangs. Frustrated cat.

by Dick C. Waters self-published author
(whose 6-worders are inspired by the chapter headings of his novel ‘Complete my Heart’, published under the pen name of Dixie Waters)
